The goal of general dentistry is to remove all disease from your mouth and repair broken down teeth, giving you the freedom to enjoy one of life’s favorite pleasures — eating your favorite foods! Although some disease may be painful, like a cavity in your tooth, “gum disease” is usually not painful and can lead to unexpected loss of your teeth. Through regular checkups, dental hygiene, removal of dental decay, and showing your proper home health care, we can eliminate disease from your mouth to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for life.
